I’ve been living in London for getting on to five years. The first year was spent in halls, desperately trying to balance food purchases and nights out on my student loan, all interspersed with standing in pissed-in lifts and finding live mice in the cooker of our Zone 1 flatshare. Year Two’s accommodation was a beautiful but freezing cold Victorian…

2017 was a wild year. Whilst I had many wonderful experiences, (like I can’t shit on a year in which I met Kehlani and went to a Star Wars premiere,) it didn’t come without it’s challenges.

This week marks a year since I started working on my relationship with alcohol. Before we launch into it: to confirm, I am not currently sober.

The first month of the school year has been and gone. My newborn blog is now four weeks old. Oh, how time passes.
